THE RIDZ SAINT GERMAIN DES PRES!

Completely renovated, this fully furnished apartment type studio-loft doesn't get any more central (and trendy) than this. Here you can relax in the Luxembourg Gardens, stroll the absolutely lovely boulevards, and stop at one (or both) of Paris' two most famous cafes: the unforgettable Cafe de Flore and the Hemingway’s favorite, les Deux Magots. Be warned: if you stay in Saint Germain des Pres, you might not ever want to leave.
Very quiet and bright first French floor .

The area is spot on, the local metro Saint Placide is literally 3 steps to the main front door of the apartment block and is on the same line (4) as Gare Du Nord so very easy (about 20 mins) for the Eurostar and also the RER to eurodisney (about 10 mins). There are plenty of metro stations within easy walking distance if you need also. The street has many many shops, pattiseries,

bars, cafe's, bank, restaurants chemists. The area is also very quiet and safe at night and you feel completely comfortable walking around some nights at midnight. Inside the apartment are guide books and train maps. We keep in touch before and throughout our stay.
